Comments Thread For: Photos: Golovkin Retires Ishida With a Deadly KO Win

That may very well be the case but how does it help Golovkin's career?

it doesn't.

it also cannot be held against him that these guys don't want to fight. that's a testament to how dangerous he is. it's also why he's unproven.

still, even in light of his lack of a top test, you can see the raw abilities that make him dangerous. he's probably got the heaviest hands in boxing right now. his chin is very good. and he's developed a telephone pole jab to generate intelligent pressure.

Sooooooo, who has he fought to dismiss that claim????? All I need is one person of significance, just one person who was ranked in the top ten. Doesn't have to be a current ten fighter, he can be last years top ten...Matter of fact, name a top 20 fighter he's fought in his division that would warrant him a fight with anyone of the top middleweights?

I know the politics im just speaking from a fan/great fight side.

Yeah He will have to beat everyones ass to get there.

No one in their right mind would sign to fight this dude.

Cmon trying to hype up Lemueix is all thats left?

Better than hyping up Ishida and Rosado.

Better than hyping up Ishida and Rosado.

How? He hasnt lost in 3 years and has decent wins over Powell and Karass.

Not only has Lemiuex has never beat anyone nearly as good, he lost to 2 guys that were on that level.

Ishida beat Kirkland and lost to Paul and Pirog. Lemiuex lost to Alcine and got GTFO by Rubio

LOL, you must be referring to the WBA rankings? What a joke! The WBA has Ishida ranked in their top 15 and he's never even won a fight at middleweight. Proksa isn't even rated Top 20.

What world are you living in? Proksa's top 10 right now on any competent list based on accomplishment, and was easily top 5 when he fought GGG since he beat the hell out of Sebastian Sylvester, who was the #4 contender in the world at the time, and had also beat a borderline top 15 guy in Pablo Navascues by KO, while never having legitimately lost (if you bring up Kerry Hope you either didn't see that fight or are completely blind).

Ishida beat Kirkland at middleweight, and while I don't think he's a real top 15 contender, I had him at #19 when he fought Golovkin. And yeah, Rosado is basically a junior middleweight, but it's not like he was completely alien to 160. He had done some business there in the past, and that was before his recent renaissance on NBC Sports. He is top 10 at 154 easily, and so he would tend to translate to at least a top 20 middleweight even if he doesn't normally fight there.
